1949 Map of Healy D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The West Fork Little Delta River dominates this mid-century Alaskan landscape, cutting a wide path through high-altitude terrain marked by numerous triangulation stations. The eastern edge of the map includes a portion of Fort Greely, an area defined by steep drainages like Buchanan Creek. Human presence in this wilderness is sparse, indicated by isolated Cabins near Dry Creek and O'Brien Creek, alongside a remote Landing Strip located north of Whiskey Pup. The drainage patterns, including Snow Mountain Gulch and Red Mountain Creek, reveal a complex system of seasonal and permanent watercourses feeding into the larger river valley. Surveyors utilized high points such as VABM 8159 Marianne to chart this corner of the interior, documenting a landscape where aviation and foot travel were the primary means of navigation.
